Tooltip

Shocks the target, instantly dealing Nature damage and the target has a chance to shock nearby friends.

How it works

Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Arc Lightning is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 8 yards.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 4. Its base value is 10. Its area radius is 10 yards.

What it does

Arc Lightning is a Nature spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 5 sec. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 10) in an 8 yard radius and applies an aura in a 10 yard radius.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the MoP Classic client, build 5.5.4.70531. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
